It was a silence that many survivors suffered whom remained mute from shock. “Just because I survived doesn’t mean I could live” In the late 1960s, just before his retirement, Inspector Timothy Davies interviews Mauthausen survivor Henri Rus from the confines of his cell. He was given the task of taking a firsthand account of Henri’s experience and the atrocities that occurred during World War Two at the slave labour camp. Little did Inspector Davies know that two months later he would be pulled out retirement to investigate Henri’s death. For Davies, it would send him on an investigation that would teach the world a very important lesson. So begins an unforgettable message and human story of the Holocaust.
